Abstract - 

The Graduate, Professional, and Online Programs Office will launch a graduate student leadership program, Grainger Engineering Graduate Student Diversity Ambassadors, charged to strengthen the recruitment and retention of students from marginalized populations in GCOE’s graduate programs. This initiative aims to measure impact of a facilitated presence of Diversity Ambassadors as positive role models on the recruitment and retention of target populations, and to develop a set of best practices for diversifying our graduate student body.
